Fermi'S Paradox       
                          
                                          
 On Earth  (The  Planet Where  I Live)  A 
 Lot Of  Us Have Antennas On  Our  Houses 
 Or  Balconies,   We  Have  Built   Large 
 Antennas  For  Larger Bandwith,  We Have 
     Build Specialized Antennaes For      
   Specific Wavelengths (And Sent Them    
 Into Orbit),  We'Ve Built Large As  Fuck 
              Antenna Arrays              
 We'Ve  Virtually Built An Antenna With A 
          Dish As Large As Earth.         
                                          
 We'Ve Learned About Our Position In  The 
      Solar System, Our Solar Systems     
 Placement   In  The   Galaxy,  And   Our 
 Galaxys Placement  In The Local Cluster, 
 And  Our  Local Clusters Place  In The 
          Grand Scheme Of Things          
                                          
 And  We'Re  Moving  Around  The  Sun  At 
 Velocity And  The Suns Moving Around The 
 Center  Of The Galaxy  At  Velocity  And 
 The  Galaxy Is  Moving Toward  Andromeda 
   And We'Re Both Moving Anticlockwise    
 Around  The Galaxy. And We As A  Species 
 Have Learned To Take All That In Account 
                                          
 And Despite  All  This,  Despite All Our 
   (Cliche) Beaming Of Fucking Stellar    
 Radio  Programmes  Out  In Fucking Space 
 At  The  Speed  Of Light  (Light Is  Our 
 Medium! Goodspeed You, Black Emperor!),  
      Despite Ghosts Helping And The      
     Collective Consciousness Lowpass     
   Filtering, Despite Our Very Obvious    
 Beaming  Of  All  Our  Secrets  In Every 
          Direction Known To Us,          
                                          
 No       One       Has       Answered

              So Why Is That?             
                                          
 Most  Opponents  To  Intelligent Life In 
 The Universe Say  It'S Because  You Need 
 A Class  One-Or-The-Other  Star  And The 
 Planet  Needs  To  Be  At  A  See-And-So 
 Distance Away From The Star (Like  There 
           Has To Be A Planet!)           
                                          
 But  Really  Isn'T   That  Keeping   The 
      Definition Of Life Really Lax?      
                                          
 I Think Everyone Agrees That We  Have No 
 Idea  What We'Re Doing (And  It Probably 
                  Shows)

 This Year And  Try  To Snatch Some Beers
